Description
The SmartlockPro Outlet Branch Circuit OBC AFCI Receptacle offers advanced technology to help protect against electrical fires resulting from arcfaults Designed to detect a wide range of potentially hazardous arcfaults resulting from damage in branch circuit wiring as well as extensions to branches such as appliances and cord sets the OBC AFCI responds by interrupting power This helps reduce the likelihood of the homes electrical system being an ignition source of a fire Often unseen arcfaults can occur anywhere in the homes electrical system including within walls at loose electrical connections or within electrical cords accidently damaged by impinging furniture AFCIs are now required by the National Electrical Code in many areas of the home
Features
Use of TEST and RESET buttons is similar to traditional GFCI receptacles of which consumers have become familiar with
Automatically tests the AFCI every time the RESET button is depressed the AFCI will not reset if the AFCI circuit is not functioning properly
By blocking reset of the AFCI if protection has been compromised the SmartlockPro OBC AFCI reduces the possibility of endusers incorrectly assuming that a reset AFCI is providing protection when its functionality has been compromised
A lineload reversal diagnostic feature is provided which prevents the AFCI from being reset and stops power from being fed to the AFCI receptacle face or through to downstream devices a green LED indicator on the AFCIs face also illuminates to alert the installer to a lineload wiring reversal when the device is in the tripped state
TR symbol indicates the devices compliance with the latest NEC requirements for tamperresistant receptacles in residences and childcare facilities
Device design reduces nuisance tripping
Impactresistant thermoplastic cover and body
Superior resistance to electrical surges and overvoltages
Terminals allow for easy wiring options back and side wire capable
Compatible with all Decora devices and wallplates
